The SUV reign finally seems to have begun in the country. The last couple of years have seen the influx of some of the best SUV cars in India that have also been accepted by Indian car owners with equal enthusiasm. Compare them with what we had about a decade ago and one cannot fail to realize the sea change in the scenario.
But what caused this change? What made the SUV cars in India such a hot category in less than a decade? Some of the probable reasons are given below-
Great Looks
Unlike a sedan, the conventional favourite, an SUV has a very aggressive look. This makes the car stand out from the crowd and generates a feeling of being very powerful.
High Ground Clearance
This makes the car slide over speed-breakers or potholes with ease, unlike a sedan, which quite often scrapes its bottom. Besides giving this crucial advantage, the high ground clearance adds to the aggressive look of the car too!
Powerful Engine
Most SUVs come with a powerful engine and quite often with a Turbo version for added power. This makes the car ideal for both urban as well as off-road terrain.
Features
An SUV generally comes loaded with features that are similar to a top-end sedan. This makes them at par with sedans.
Comfort & Safety
SUVs come with some of the best comfort as well as safety features. This not only makes the car comfortable during urban driving conditions as well as stable during off-road ones.
Price
Most SUVs are priced similar to sedans thus making them an attractive proposition to the customers.
This change of tastes was triggered by and is being fuelled by the following SUV cars in India:

1.Renault DUSTER

The Renault DUSTER is the car that started this revolution. Unlike the rough-to-drive and uncomfortable SUVs of those times, the DUSTER offered a smoother driving experience and an ergonomic interior that is ideal for off-road drives and long distance urban commutes. It even has very aggressive yet polished looks and a powerful engine too. Since then, the DUSTER has remained the first choice of SUV enthusiasts who look for a dual-purpose car that is ideal for an urban commute as well as off-roading. Today, the DUSTER comes with two engine options, 1.5L Petrol and 1.3L Petrol Turbo with a starting price of just Rs. 9.57 Lacs and Rs. 10.89 Lacs respectively (both ex-showroom Delhi)

2.Renault KIGER

Renault has recently redefined the definition of SUV cars in India with its newly launched KIGER. Contemporary looks, top features, powerful engines, high-end features, ergonomic interiors, top-class driving experience, and an amazing price to match make the Renault KIGER a disrupter in this already hot market. Every other SUV maker in the industry is now being forced to go back to the drawing board and redesign their offering. The starting price of just Rs. 5.45 Lacs (ex. Showroom Delhi) makes it an irresistible proposition from the customer’s perspective.

3.Harrier
This premium SUV make many hearts skip a beat. Priced starting Rs. 13.99 Lacs (ex. Showroom Delhi), the Harrier tops the preference table when it comes to amazing looks.

4.Fortuner

This top-end SUV has a price tag starting at Rs. 29.98 Lacs (ex. Showroom Delhi) but commands a road presence like no other SUV car in India. The Fortuner is the last word in comfort, luxury, and road presence.

The spark ignited by the Renault DUSTER in SUV cars in India has now turned into a full-fledged fire with the KIGER. The customers can now look forward to an enhanced experience not only in terms of driving, but also in comfort, safety, and latest features with these new-age SUV cars in India.
